Cloyster
パルシェン (Parushen)
Bivalve Pokémon
Water/Ice
4'11"
292.1 lbs.
50% ♀/50% ♂
CLOY-stir
When attacked, it launches its horns in quick volleys. Its innards have never been seen.
For protection, it uses its harder-than-diamonds shell. It also shoots spikes from the shell.
Once it slams its shell shut, it is impossible to open, even by those with superior strength.
Cloyster that live in seas with harsh tidal currents grow large, sharp spikes on their shells.
Even a missile can't break the spikes it uses to stab opponents. They're even harder than its shell.

Cloyster has a spiky shell, six of which are long are conical, resembling turrrets, which is used to protect its soft insides from foes. Cloyster has an an inner, gray-colored layer inside its purple shell. Its "head", and face resemble a black pearl, and there is a jutting, horn-like white spike above its "head".
Cloyster has strong defenses, and moderate offenses, both thanks to its sturdy shell. It fights by clamping its shell tightly shut while launching spikes from its shell to strike opponents.
Cloyster is a clever, and sneaky Pokémon, viciously rushing at prey shooting with spikes. It fights roughly because of the hostile nature of its habitat, and the protection of its shell, allowing it to withstand physical blows easily. Cloyster swims by means of propulsion, doing so by first swallowing water, then jetting it out toward the rear. Cloyster may also shoot spikes from its shell using the same system.
Cloyster lives deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral, and rocks.
(Unconfirmed!)
It appears to be based off of a bivalve with a black pearl as its head.
Cloyster's name may be a combination of "cloister," to seclude or shelter oneself, and "oyster." It could also be a combination of "clam", and "oyster."
